A world record was set for the mens 100 m dash in the 2008


Question: A world record was set for the men's 100 m dash in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing by Usain Bolt of Jamaica. Bolt "coasted" across the finish line with a time of 9.69 s. If we assume that Bolt accelerated for 2.82 s to reach his maximum speed, and maintained that speed for the rest of the race, calculate his maximum speed (in m/s) and his acceleration (in m/s2). maximum speed m/s acceleration m/s2 (b) During the same Olympics, Bolt also set the world record in the 200 m dash with a time of 19.30 s. Using the same assumptions as for the 100 m dash, what was his maximum speed for this race (in m/s)?
